Geocache Description:


~COORDINATE ARITHMETIC

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

I believe that this is a fairly simple puzzle for those who have done some serious geocaching. I used some ideas from my experience in solving some of the great puzzles out there. A simple mind is capable of creating a simple puzzle. I will give a hint to those who have spent some time trying to solve the puzzle without success. You will need to e-mail me and explain what you have done so far, so that I can give you an appropriate hint. This is meant to be fun.
 
You will need to solve the following story problem:

Go to N 40 52.801 W 111 54.278 where you will find you first clues. You will need to next use your arithmetic skills to find the final coordinates. You will be using your clues to replace the tenths, hundreths, and thousands of a minute in the clue waypoint. Add bar sbhe guerr to your north clue and subtract mreb bar avar from your west clue and you will have the final coordinates.

North sumcheck is 7, West sumcheck is 15.

Good Luck.

CONRATULAIONS to bossmanron for FTF.
